Just as planned a week ago after it was announced he would miss the season’s first two games, Wild veteran Zach Parise was cleared for contact and rejoined the Wild during Monday’s practice.

Parise will have to see how he’s feeling when he awakes Tuesday, but Parise lasted the entire session, including a post-practice conditioning skate with his teammates.

Afterward, he said he hopes to move on from an injury that he’s declining to disclose.

“Injuries are always tough,” Parise said. “Trying to figure out what irritates it, what doesn’t irritate it, what makes it feel better. I’m hoping that, … I’m optimistic that I’m out of the woods now, and I can move on from it.”

Parise said he doesn’t have a back injury. However, multiple sources said throughout training camp and once again Monday afternoon that Parise does have a back issue or at least discomfort in the back and pelvic region.
